I have been putting off writing this, because I have been deep in mourning and just really a mess. But my beloved Yuan, my best friend, crossed the rainbow bridge on the 6th. I am devastated.
Since Laeg (my betta) also crossed just on Halloween, it felt even worse, like a double gut punch. It was just me and Sanglainn (my snail, who lives in the aquarium). So on the 14th, I went and got a new betta friend. I can't cuddle her of course, but she is very interactive, which helps a lot since I've been so lonely without Yuan. So meet Athena:
It still feels like I don't know how I will go on without my love, but I'm here.
